The only dust on it has been airbrushed. :cool:

Thanks very much, @WoodiE. That just might give me the incentive to get it off the back burner and into the oven.

It's been on the back burner for quite a while. I don't know if I'll be giving it a full frame, but I still plan to do an interior for it. Thanks for the kind words.

Sorry, Jose.28, I must have missed your post. I have no idea. It started out like a normal old truck and ended up taking a few hours at a time for a long time. I still plan to get back to it to give it a ragged interior.

:doh: !!!

I fixed it for you. :hehe: ---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ---------- Bite me. You too.

One of my favorites. Thank you very much. Every time I walk past it I realize how much better it looks since there's more dust on it. :hehe:

I was in N Dakota some years ago. Some of the oldest trucks I ever saw, were still running on the farms.

Yeah, NitroJoe, I only have them mounted on aluminum tubes till I get the frame built. The rears are too far out, and the fronts are too far in, but it will all be corrected. I've already scaled down pictures of beer labels, and I'll be printing them on decal paper. An old pickup without...

Thanks man. lmao...If it runs, I might just put it in your Rat Rod.

Thanks a lot. Wait till it has the scale interior and full frame. I only hope I can stop before I start with a mini straight 6 for it.

I just drafted up some plans today and started laying out the brass. I'll be able to build the main frame rails, but I won't be able to connect them with the cross members till I have the axles to set up for width measurements. You can see I made a few changes as to the angle of the...

The size of these, compared to the 2.2s that are in it now, are just the perfect scale for the truck. Easy to say, now that they're done, but it's 2-3 hours per wheel.

Just so you don't think I've been goofing off ALL the time, here are the latest updates for the Ugly Truckling: The tires and wheels, before and after. Also a muffler soldered together from brass sheet and rod, holes rotted through, and the seam split. You can see that the mud...

Excellent links, thanks for looking, abadk9420. Splined shafts. I'm really impressed.

I've been looking long and hard at the two crawler frames. My original intent was to cut and solder the angles indicated, and add external plates ground to the angle to support it (similar to the plates supporting the springs, but used to reinforce the angles. Now, after looking at this...

The brass stock for the rectangular rails and the cross supports is hollow. It will be cut and soldered with reinforcement plates at each connection. I can't use an iron on the heavy stock, and my other torches are overkill on light stock, so I also picked up a BernzOmatic butane micro torch...

I just bought a lot of rectangular brass stock today, in different sizes, and I'm about to build my own frame. I even got the stock for the leaf springs and brackets. All I'll need right now are a couple of diffs and a trans, and I'll start to lay out some measurements. Can anyone recommend...

Thanks, I forgot to mention the video. I thought it was one of the best RC vids I ever saw.

I'll be standing in line waiting for them to get it all together. I just can't believe how perfect is is for my project. I'm about to look at the other crawler just for comparisons. Here's the link to the $1000 crawler.
